Job 13:12 in Context — Job 13

10 Certainement il vous condamnera, Si vous n’agissez en secret que par égard pour sa personne.

11 Sa majesté ne vous épouvantera-t-elle pas? Sa terreur ne tombera-t-elle pas sur vous?

12 Vos sentences sont des sentences de cendre, Vos retranchements sont des retranchements de boue.

13 Taisez-vous, laissez-moi, je veux parler! Il m’en arrivera ce qu’il pourra.

14 Pourquoi saisirais-je ma chair entre les dents? J’exposerai plutôt ma vie.
